We talk life from time to time in karate class. I am 41 now and I still practice and benefit from the ideas and principles learned in karate 30 years ago!
My advice to the karate kids.
The key to success, attack every task with the same enthusiasm you have for your favorite hobby.
The way you walk into your house when you know you're about to play video games or
watch your favorite show,
walk into the house, school, or gyn with that same energy.
Approach your training and schoolwork with that same enthusiasm and happiness that you have for your fav hobby.
Try that with your fitness.
Approach it with that same vigor as your fav habit. You know that bop you have...
that jokerish smile...
or the stoic focused face you get when it's
time to lock in,
Get into that mindset. You will reach your goals a whole lot faster...
or at least ENJOY it more!
